Title: Poloidal coils and transformer core for JET - design and manufacture

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Magn.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6230885

The poloidal field coils and iron core form the primary windings and magnetic circuit of the JET Tokamak transformer and also control the shape and position of the plasma. The coil conductors are copper and the insulation is epoxy resin impregnated glass and polyimide tape. The coils are water cooled. The total weight of coils is about 350 t and the largest coil is 10.9 m. in diam. The transformer core has a central section and 8 return limbs. The parts are made of laminated steel and the total weight is about 2800 t. The paper describes the design and manufacture of the above equipment at several major European electrical manufacturers. 4 refs.
